RICHARD DENHAM, OF WAL'IHAMSTOW, ENGLAND.

SPRING SEAT AND THE LIKE.

Application filed February 21, 1923. Serial No. 620,447.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, RICHARD DENHAM, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 30 Ferndale Avenue, VValtham stow, Essex, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spring Seats and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to chair, settee and. other seats of the class in which the upholstery and stuffing are supported upon upholstery or like springs mounted upon a wire or other frame or support which is itself suspended or attached to the chair or settee frame by coiled or spiral tension springs.

Hitherto chairs or the like of the described type, have had the frames or supports for the upholstery or like springs entirely supported or carried by the tension springs but this arrangement is found to be unsatisfactory as there is a tendency for the same frames or supports to move horizontally as well as vertically when in use and the obsuch horizontal movement in chairs or the like of the said type.

According to my invention I connect the front side of the frame or support for the upholstery or like springs directly to the front of the chair or like frame so as to be supported thereby the other three sides of the said frame or support being supported by the corresponding sides of the chair or In a suitable arrangement for carrying out the invention I provide metal rods or wires secured to the top of the frame of'the chair or the like in any suitable Way, say, by staples, and I hook or attach one end of each of the coiled or spiral tension springs thereto, the other ends thereof being hooked ject of the present invention is to obviate like frame by means of the tension springs.

. or attached to the wire frames supporting the upholstery springs.

To enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe it by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional side view of an arm-chair in accordance with the invention, the upholstery and stufiing not being shown.

Figs. 2 and 3 are sections on lines 22, and 3-3, respectively, Fig. 1. y

a is the chair frame and b the wire frame provided with the upholstery springs 0.

This wire frame I) is directly supported atv the front upon the front bar d of the frame a, over which is arranged the hair or other stuffing and the upholstery.

e, e are the coiled or spiral tension springs by which the frame, 6 is suspended or attached to the frame a, at the sides and the back to the sides and back bars f, f, g, respectively, of the chair frame a.

h, h are the rods or wires secured by sta ples 2', i to the top of the chair frame a, to which rods the outer ends of the tension springs e are hookedor attached, the other ends of the said springs being hooked or attached to the lower part. of the metal frame 6.

Claim 1 A chair, settee or other seat of the kind hereinbefore referred to, including a main frame, upholstery s rings and a frame for the same", the front side of said spring frame being directly connected to the front of said main frame, tension springs for supporting the other three sides of said spring frame,

said tension springs being connected to'the mainframe through the mediumof wires upon the corresponding upper sides of said main frame.

In testimony whereof I alfix 1n signature.

RICHARD D NHAM.
